## Description
Hierarchical HTML Sitemap offers visitors an easy and intuitive navigation across
your blog.
This plugin generates HTML Sitemap of your WordPress blog. It displays a list of
posts, grouped by hierarchically sorted categories. By using a shortcode you can
easily and quickly display sitemap on a page, or anywhere where shortcodes work,
e.g. in a widget.
The output does not include any CSS or JavaScript files – it is pure HTML, ready
for you to style as you want it.
#### Features:
* Short and easy shortcode: `[htmlmap]`
* Categories sorted hierarchically.
* Displays posts and/or pages.
* Can exclude specified posts/pages or categories.
* Displays categories cloud above posts list, for better navigation.
* Displays post’s published date.
* Clean HTML without inline styles or scripts.
* Does not enqueue any unnecessary .js or .css files.
* No ads nor author links.
#### PRO Features
[Hierarchical HTML Sitemap Pro](https://wp-puzzle.com/hierarchical-html-sitemap/)
allow:
1. Extended sitemap settings
2. Shortcode generator
#### Usage & Options:
The plugin’s shortcode `[htmlmap]` accepts several optional parameters:
* `exclude` : specify posts or pages IDs you don’t want displayed (example: `[htmlmap
exclude=445,446]`).
* `exclude_cat` : specify categories IDs you don’t want displayed (example: `[htmlmap
exclude_cat=1,34]`).
* `showpages` : enables displaying list of pages (example: `[htmlmap showpages]`).
* `hidecloud` : disable categories cloud (example: `[htmlmap hidecloud]`).
* `showdescription` : enables displaying categories descriptions (they are not
shown by default; example: `[htmlmap showdescription]`).
* `hidedate` : disable displaying posts published dates (example: `[htmlmap hidedate]`).
* `hidecount` : disable displaying posts amount in category name (example: `[htmlmap
hidecount]`).
Several parameters could be used in the same shortcode. For example:
```
[htmlmap exclude="3546,7398" exclude_cat="1,34" showpages hidecloud]
```

Très bien (dommage par ordre alphabétique impossible) mais sinon, un des meilleurs

This sitemap KICKS ASS and looks fantastic!
### [Self explantion in use – good code output](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/self-explantion-in-use-good-code-output/)
[IngoPagels](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ingopagels/) September 3, 2016
It tested WP Sitemap Page, WP SEO HTML Sitemap Plugin and HTML Page Sitemap. Hierachical
html Sitemap is the best to youse of all of em. You can customize the output and
it works. I tryed that in “HTML Page Sitemap” to but faild cause the output was
limited to “pages” only. Code is clean ul-li with h2, nice anchor links to get “
up” again. Easy to use and even a none programmer can customize the output. Works
with Wp 4.4
### [Thanks for this great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thanks-for-this-great-plugin-11/)
[WPRonin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpronin/) September 3, 2016
I’m not someone who leaves a comment here, but this plugin deserves that. I have
not found a single HTML sitemap plugin that has the option to exclude category –
this has that option. Thanks again!
### [Short, Sweet and Simple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-sweet-and-simple/)
[](https://profiles.wordpress.org/oldbuddy/) September 3, 2016
I don’t always post comments here, but this was EXACTLY what I was looking for.
I used a mobile responsive theme with both pages and posts, but only one menu. I
still showed posts in the right column, but if the screen was narrow, they get pushed
to the bottom. So I made one more page with this shortcode on it in about 30 seconds
and added it to the end of my page menu. Problem Solved!
